Imagine a Giga Dive coaster. Floor Gang.
Remember when everyone thought Yukon striker could’ve been a giga dive? Early Amusement insiders fans know what I’m talking about
@@TN-wv6ok What a throwback!!! XD
@@AdventuresWithParker huge throwback!
Maybe a strata dive coaster lol
Yo imagine a strata with a giga lay out
They need to loop this thing twice like them kiddie coasters
RICHEY099 nah maybe 3
THIS MAN SPEAKING STRAIGHT FACTS
Lolololololol
most 2 round kiddy coasters are longer than this
Than it’ll become griffon. It’s a budget Griffon! Six flaaaaags, get over here, I got sum thing to show u.
Much agreed. It's not terrible, just underwhelming just like most coasters at Heide Park. If you ask me, you might as well spend an extra day at Hansa Park instead.
Heide Park is my home park, but after the first Colossos-less season I really wasn‘t feeling it anymore (also because the atmosphere deteriorated quite a bit after the park changed owners).
Didn‘t visit the park for about three years. But having ridden Colossos again in it‘s refurbished glory (and speed, which for some reason was trimmed down quite a bit when it first re-opened) I can now definitely see myself going more often. There are better parks out there, but having lived in a few other countries I‘d say we can consider ourselves lucky to be able to complain about Heide Park XD
When it opened I laughed about that tiny coaster (the ship wasn't already there and just the circle of teeth was laying NEXT TO the drop in the Water). But I learned to love it. Especially on the outer seats in the backrow, because, in case of airtime, there is a big difference between front and back.
Best feature about Krake is that it soaks the path that located at the end of that Splash Down. When I visited last year some people didn't pay attention that a train was coming and they got wet to their bones.
My experience was different. I’ve been on a lot of dive coasters and with rare exception they don’t do too much for me. And I knew this one was small and short. So I went in with little to no expectations. Probably for that reason, I was pleasantly surprised. I thought that drop was surprisingly great! I definitely enjoyed the ride.
Btw, there’s an easily missed single rider line that will allow you to skip the long, slow line and walk right into the station.
this was at my second home park and i think this thing is mostly boring except of the last ride oh the day in the back right.
lol who else has been pronouncing it "crake"
meeeee
Quinn Reed me
Crake by the ocean
Me.
No one who understands German
i work at Heide Park and sometimes i also work at Krake and yeah working there is more fun then actually riding XD
But finally you're reviewing more European Coasters :)
The Krake Soundtrack was the first Imascore Themepark soundtrack. This is the soundrack wich made them popular in the theme park buisniss
I agree It is strange that the splash effect is right after the drop but if you think about it, where else would they put it? I guess they wanted it there either because the immelmann whould be to intense without it or because it looks cool coming out of the pirate ship.
They could put it after the immelman or the airtime hill
They could have scaled up the Immelman to make it less intense.
The real reason why the Splash is there is for the visual spectacle and to soak the path that is behind the Immelman.
With how it is set up you can see the Splash from the other side of the large lake, you see it from a restaurant that is nearby, it gives great Photo Opportunities pretty much anywhere around the ride area.
And just like the Splash zones for many Water rides, Krake's Splash zone is really popular among guests on hot days.
Awesome to see you're finally reviewing more of the european coasters! Would love to see a wodan, colossus, katun and flug der daemonen review! As always, keep up the great work :)
HonestlyDirt as he said he hasn’t ridden colossus😐
@@truniekk4248 I mean colossus at thorpe park
you should do a top 5 or 10 dive coasters list. Gerstlauers included
That would be really cool!
Could I recommend doing a katun review?
YES
Please
Yasss! It's a fantastic inverted coaster!
@@nugget_music nothing beats Nemesis
British Thrillseeker
But katun still good
Nice
Could you please make a review of Troy @ Toverland?
Yo whaaaaat?! I’ve throughly it was kray-k this whole time!!!!
same
The easiest way to be clear about such situations is to type the words into Google translater in the native language and let them read out loud
good video
Nice review Taylor! :) As a guy who lives in central Europe, Heide Park was my first Theme park I have ever visited and Krake was my first coaster I have ever ridden! I will never forget how it felt. I saw POV before my visit, but it was so much intense that I could image. I experienced gray out but didn't know what happened when I was on the coaster and even right after my ride. When me and my friend who sits next to and also experienced this for the first time, leave the station we looked to each other with faces which describes how incredible the ride it was. After few years I have visited Gardaland and rode Oblivion, I agree with you, that there are better dive coasters and I agree with 4/10 if it this result is in dive coasters category. Otherwise it is one of the best atractions in the park with absolutely amazing theming and absolutely great coaster which every coaster enthusiast should experience and will remember :)
Finally I found someone who has been to both: Krake and Oblivion. My top 2 favourite dive coasters.
I don’t want to sound dumb or something, but ride this backrow, XXL seat. You have sooooo much room, and the air on this thing is amazing. Better than Baron IMO
It is just so short! And, didn‘t Jeff get pretty wet?
Cool. I think now is definitely a great time to do more reviews of supporting coasters. It's not like any of us are going to be getting on anything new right now.
Raptor (Gardaland)review
You know the gp will love the spectacle of that splashdown right by all that theming
I Agree. Krake Seems Like A Cool, Fun Ride Thats Scary But Really When Us Coaster Nerds See It, It Doesn't Blow Our Minds
mini dive coasters are so cute!
This looks fun!!
I'm from Germany and I love Krake. On one visit I rode it 9 times. But ist my first Dive Coaster, so I didnt no what to expect. Even I love Krake, I agree with you! I'm sure if I rode more Dive Coasters, I would rank it low!
Coaster Studios.... Yo Taylor that camera angle at 3:33 was beautiful, and fit the narration perfectly.. 🎢🎢🎢
Good job.
I absolutely agree with your opinion. Krake is a fun and well themed ride, but it is definitely too short. However, as you said, the average guest coming to the park will like it because it might be one of his first dive coasters, if not the first. And many of those people are impressed by that first drop, so they´re also a bit scared when they enter the ride. I also have to say that while Colossos is the most thrilling ride at Heide Park, Krake might be the most photogenic one. Even on the less frequented days, you´ll still see many guests sitting in the restaurant or on the terrace next to the splashdown to get some images of the train swooshing through the splashdown. And the panorama from the other side of the lake is just imposing.
Btw, nice review and beautiful pronunciation of “Krake” and “Heide Park” ;)
What’s the best colour scheme on a coaster
Edit: the reason I’m asking this is because I’m building a backyard rollercoaster during the quarantine. It has the same track at a maur rides spinning coaster or an arrow hybrid. I’ve chosen my colour scheme and it will be zadras. The. Plaster will look something like will pembles back yard coaster
Original X colour scheme
r/woooosh
for me its skyrush or kumba
@@benkhazaal Y r u linking to a Subreddit outside Reddit? It doesn't make sense and is cringe af
Randomguy 101 oh god no
It is really short, was disappointed in the first row but a last row right seat towards the end of the day gave me an 8 or 9 seconds of airtime on a 16 second ride, which I thought was pretty impressive for such a short ride. Good thing they have colossus now which is awesome.
one other cool thing is that it splashes onto the walkway. it's a really nice feature on hot summer days. and of course the faces of the people who don't know about it haha
I live just 20 km away from the Heidepark and KRAKE is definitely one of my favorite rides there. I like it's short intensity ❤️
CARD BOYZ TV what about colossos? or desert race?
It is confirmed by Efteling that this ride was the inspiration for Baron 1898. They told this in their making of series about Baron.
I think that it is too short but I also think that it has the coolest Splashdown in the world and it is amazing walking underneath the splashdown.
Wow can't believe this is a coaster. I wouldn't wait longer than 15 minutes for this
I never before experienced somebody, who considers Krake to be the signature ride of Heide Park. At no time ever it was. When Collossos got closed, Krake wasn‘t even the newest coaster in the park…
Great Video
5:06 I'd never consider this a signature ride of the park, more so "Flug der Dämonen" at the time when Colossos was still closed and definitely Colossos as of 2019 and onwards.
I was excited when I saw this review coming, the only dive machine I rode so far, at least it has the old restraints, but I think the score is appropriate. It's just the shortest and smallest (in drop height) dive machine. They could've added more, another turnaround and inversion for example, but I think they banked on "first dive coaster in Germany and first floorless dive coaster in Europe" so they were fine with cheaping out on track length... as those "records" were valid regardless of height or length.
good video, just watched the whole thing!
how..... HoOwW
You couldn’t have
Randomguy 101 😂😂😂
@@jackbenderproductions no, I did, I just watch faster.
@@k.olimitless723 I have an innate ability to watch videos faster than the average humans, in 2 seconds, I can watch 10 seconds of video!
Finally an American who pronounces this rides name correctly!
I much prefer wing coasters over dive coaster. If you’re gonna have near miss elements wings are the way to go.
I rode it 9 times and i loved it
Still a real bummer you didn't get to ride Colossos when you were there. IMO the Heide-Park experience stands and falls with this coaster.
Finally! My Home Park! ...but you Guys are right... Its too Short....
The mini dives look so much better paced than the ones in America
Here is a tip: The seats in the middle on each row are XXL-seats for "bigger" peolpe. If your sitting there, make sure you make you big (you Enthusiasts now what I mean), so you have more room. Then the Drop is twice as fun and you dont Need your seat on the Drop:)
Oblivion (the black hole) review! Oblivion (gardaland) for my is a top 3 dive coaster!
dangling coaster
I'm a fan of dive coasters. And I think I'd like this one, but it definitely does look like one of the worst ones, with that being said I'd still like to get out to Heide Park! Great review!
it's still longer than the first they ever build. The splash makes it more fun cause you might get a little wet sitting in the last row.
I would totally agree to your opinion.
I agree
The theming is very sweet
Colossos is so nice you would like this park a lot more if you rode it
Krake is German for "octopus". I am quite familiar with this coaster as I've seen Theme Park Review's POV of this. I've always called it "Crake" but I guess "Kraka" sound right. Clearly I don't know German. I also thought is was short watching the POV. I literaly thought "That's it??". But nonetheless I have no interest in going to Europe at this time. But never say "Never!" I may change my mind and go... some day... And Taylor, as I was clicking on this video I instantly knew BEFORE watching the video that you didn't like this coaster. If you liked it you would've reviewed it already. Your European coaster tour was almost 2 years ago and here is Krake's review. Anyway stay safe and hope we enthusiasts are riding soon.
agentM1991 I think „Crake“ is a better pronunciation than „Kraka“ but thats only my opinion
I would call the signature ride at this park Flug der Daemonen
Does anyone know why mini dive machines never go fully 90 degrees (excluding prototype Oblivion at AT)
Sick logo
Do you plan on reviewing Flug Der Damonen as well? It’s always intrigued me simply because it’s the only coaster in the world to feature a Demonic Knot inversion.
It’s on the list!
What Prefab looks best in your opinion other than El Toro?
T-Express
Taylor, you should rank all the dives, floorless, or inverts you have ridden
Heide-Park seems to try more with recent additions. But their coasters are usually hit or miss. They tend to be at the forefront of coasters in germany with Krake (dive) and Desert Race (launched) and they used to have one of the first inverted hanging coasters (limit) AND the then biggest wooden coaster (colossus). They also have germany's only wing coaster (flight of the demons) which is actually really fun to ride. But since Heide-Park is VERY focused on family instead of thrill seekers, there's much more slower and boring rides. I wish we had something like Cedar Point or Six Flags MM here, but a trip to Heide-Park is usually enjoyable regardless. However, I have to agree. Krake is just underwhelming. It's 3 seconds of fun and then it's over. A real damn shame they went with sich a short ride, which, if I am not mistaken, was also due to room constraints.
This the only mini dive with a water break?
Should go ride the tower of terror in south Africa you will find a love for dive coaster 6+ g forces and its not long at all but so worth it
The best thing of this coaster is that the people on the street get wet
The way I would have handled the splashdown would be to use narrow, streamlined fins on the train rather than the conventional water brake fins. It would still result in a slowdown but it wouldn't be quite as noticeable.
Then it wouldn't make nearly as big of a splash, if at all.
I feel the same way about Formula Rossa. Yeah it goes just under 150, but for like a half second
I am just waiting for B&M to invest in a lap bar for their dive coasters. Cause if a ride like cannibal can have a lap bar, any dive coaster can have a lap bar.
Oblivion review Alton Towers. The GP consider it to be one of the best in the UK, I’d like to know your opinion, thx :)
Technically oblivion at Alton towers was the first mini dive coaster oblivion opened on march 14 1998
It looks like a short ride but it has some nice theming
Coaster Box for the heide park its well themed but when you look to other parks in germany/europe you will find way betther theming
I agree about the soundtrack. The ride looks meh, but I would wait in line just to hear the soundtrack lol.
You should do a colossus at Thorpe park review
That or saw, that would be interesting ahaha
Looks like there’s more water after the Immelmann! They could have put the splash down there!
its not deeper there
What do you think of oblivion?
it was my first Dive c. i found it to be ok, but watching the splash down was cool. I'd prefer Colossos, especially the drop.
Surely the signature ride when you went should have been Flug Der Dämonen....
Yeah right?
only bc colossos was closed
Fadirko as I said surely when you went. - Based on the fact he said in his video when he went Krake was the signature ride, cause Colossos was closed. - Altho Flug realistically should have been viewed as the main ride, it has one of the more unique Wing Coaster layouts too.
I actually prefer Oblivion - both short rides but I think the hole and theming are better, feels faster somehow as well, even if there isn’t an inversion
I actually don't really enjoy dive coasters that much. I'll go on one if a park has one, but I definitely can't say that any of my favorite coasters are dive coasters.
@Coaster Studios This or Valravn?
After riding Shellraiser, a dive coaster drop can’t scare me
I disagree about the waterbreaks, I think they're amzing. Just hanging upside down in that imalman and seeing that water come towards you is so amazing.
If this is your opinion on Krake, I expect Oblivion The Black Hole's review to be similar to this, since the first half of the ride is almost identical
It does not have the splashdown though so it doesn't lose so much speed. I liked Oblivion best of all Mini Dives I tried. Haven't been on Valkyria yet though.
I've only ridden two dive coasters: krake and Oblivion the black hole at Gardaland. and I feel like krake has better theming but Oblivion has the better ride
It’d be cool if there was the splash down and the inversion flipped into the water spray
depending on the wind direction that can happen anyway. I rode it last row, left outer seat and I got a bit of the Water Spray on me. Doesn't soak you, but was still refreshing.
@@Soonjai It does soak you while standing in line for Big Loop lol.
gonna be against popular opinion but I went summer 2019 and this was the best ride there the only ride closed was scream
Dave DALK what about colossos?
4 is just fine. I actually like the complete ride including the splashdown, but the thing is just unacceptably short.
A 300 Foot Dive Coaster with no mid-course would be perfect
Is this a smooth ride
I called it “crack” because it looks like it’s gonna say kraken which is my favorite b&m floor less
They're all short rides minus YGS but after all Krake is a MINI dive machine
please, Please, PLEASE do an Oblivion review, I'd love to hear how you think it holds up against all the others! Is it better or worse than this?
Is the track same size on "mini dives" as "standard dives"? Like Griffon.
No, the track used for rides like Griffin are much wider
@@CoasterStudios Thanks, never really thought about it before. And obviously we do not have one here in the states.
@@CoasterStudios ...also, did u catch that Candymonium test footage.... OMG... Lookout Mako
I liked it, but as you said it’s not something you would want to reride. I actually prefered the powered coaster over this thing 😂
Better than Yukon Striker?
Noooo. Yukon striker is better than this
Katun review?
It's still longer than Oblivion!
i was so incredibly disappointed when I rode this for the first time and despite coming back to hide park multiple times I never rode it again
